SAVE THE BRAZILIAN AMAZON! *3X IMPACT, USE LINK BELOW* "For the next $400,000+ donated (8/23/24), every $1 donated will be matched by $2, thanks to two generous supporters. We're fighting to protect 20 million acres of the Brazilian Amazon. We need your help! Within the Brazilian Amazon, 141 million acres of land are government controlled but not yet designated for a particular purpose. Each and every one of these acres could be preserved forever as part of a protected area such as an indigenous reserve or national park. Or it could be chain-sawed and burned to the ground for beef or soy." #amazon #rainforest #conservation #charity #brazil #amazonrainforest #forest #trees #giveback Rainforest Trust https://lnkd.in/eucNK7Fe

Wisconsin Lumber is proud to be a 🌴 Conservation Circle Partner 🌴 of Rainforest Trust, one of the world’s most effective conservation charities. We are donating to Rainforest Trust to support and protect endangered species, threatened rainforests, and other tropical ecosystems around the world. Our donations will safeguard real acres of rainforest! Rainforests are one of the most important natural resources on Earth and affect the daily lives of everyone on our planet. They safely store billions of tons of carbon, helping to mitigate climate change, stabilize global weather patterns, clean water, and are even a source for modern medicines. Rainforests are also home to 50% of the world’s species, many of which are critically endangered. Thousands of indigenous communities rely on these forests for their food, water, and economic prosperity. In short, rainforests help to sustain life on this planet, and their long-term protection is absolutely vital for our survival. Rainforest Trust ensures the protection of these vital ecosystems through partnerships with local communities and trusted in-country partner NGOs. The charity has already saved over 50 million acres of rainforest and other tropical ecosystems.
